* EagerRookie: The Kid is only 16 years old but joins the Corps to fight the Machines. Captain Mifune tells him he can't serve because the minimum age is 18, but relents when the Kid points out that the Machines won't care how old he is, they'll kill him whether he fights them or not.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler:Since he and Neo were both equally matched, Smith chose to download himself into Neo instead of fighting forever]]. The symbolism aside (and there's a lot of it), the literal interpretation of what's going on is that [[spoiler:Smith doesn't realize Neo is jacked into the Matrix in the machine city, which means he's just connected himself to the Source, so the machines promptly delete him]].

* MeatSackRobot: In this last film of the trilogy the Ex-Agent Smith, a malicious program that formerly served the Matrix, [[WetwareBody took possession]] of one of Neo's fellow members of the Human resistance in an attempt to kill him in the real world. This trope applies in that the human has a technological implant, from which Smith (a thoroughly non-biological entity) was able to use to manifest himself in the real world via a human host.

* CueTheSun: At the end, the Oracle and Sati are sitting on a bench in a green park under a stunning sunrise which was made by Sati ("for Neo"), showing her to be pretty GenreSavvy where symbolism is concerned.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: When Morpheus and the others return to Zion and activate the EMP inside their ship to disable the Sentinels inside the city, they are at first greeted as heroes. However, Commander Locke is GenreSavvy enough to realize that by doing so, they've also disabled any other feeble defenses the humans had left, and since the Machines have [[WeHaveReserves reserve forces]], the second wave comes in completely unopposed. It's only due to Neo's DealWithTheDevil that stops the Sentinels from wiping out the remaining humans.
